(Director/screenwriter: Michael Zaiko Hall. Story by Oliver Caspersen.)
Storyline
A young woman arrives at her
cousin’s house after a ten-year absence. As dark, past-related events occur
someone in the dark woods stalks them.
Review
Despite its effective bookend
scenes and its sometimes-interesting visual effects, this
hour-and-fifteen-minute tale of a psychic woman, her skeevy parents and her
subjected-to-Russian-experiments cousin is an overlong, muddled mess.
Unnecessary, trying-to-be-edgy jump-cut scenes jar the flow, the second half is
an overlong, nonsensical mess (as if first-time-full-feature director,
Michael Zaiko Hall, is trying to catch a truncated David Lynch
vibe), and a tone-jarring“twist” about incest
further flaws this movie. The acting ranges from good (Jenya Chaplin and Kay
Coburn) to execrable (Oliver Caspersen).
